Heather is supercharged with pure positive energy! She has focus, logic, and compassion. She works very quickly but never makes you feel rushed. I had stocked up on plastic tubs, banker boxes and smaller craft boxes. We put “like with like.” Heather helped me make sense of it all. She made it easy to decide what to do. But, if I couldn’t decide on certain items, no pressure, they were stored (in an orderly fashion) for me to process later. Heather’s energy was so inspiring that I felt a physical lag whenever she left momentarily to take things out. Oh yes - she removes everything: to recycle, to donate, or to trash. I am 70, childless, divorced. She gets it. She pulled a chair around and brought things to me for classification. She didn’t want me to lift a finger. My basement has now been completely transformed. She is amazing. I love her. I feel so grateful. At first, I thought, gee this is a lot of money, but I realize I’ve spent more on other projects that don’t give the personal sense of rejuvenation that this did. This is priceless. Best thing I’ve done in a long time. I will definitely have her come back and help organize my office and sewing room.

— Ellen - St. Louis

Heather was wonderful! As described on her website, she started with a one-hour consultation where she gave me a lot of great ideas and a shopping list. Once I felt I was ready (which in my case took a little while...) she came over early on a Saturday and we spent the entire day going through my house. I was shocked when organizing the basement took only 2-3 hours because it had been full of clutter and I had been avoiding it for months. From there, we went through every other area of my house where I had clutter or where I felt disorganized and Heather helped me organize things in a way that made sense. Heather is super efficient, and in fact, we used our time so effectively that I ended up sending her home an hour early because I couldn’t find anything else for her to help me organize. My basement is now a livable space, and I have a very organized storage system that allows me to find extra batteries, old photos, Christmas decorations, and other things that previously would have been cluttered somewhere in a way that I could never find them again. Overall, this was well worth the money- very competitive pricing as compared to other personal organizers, and you couldn’t find a nicer person with whom to spend a hard day decluttering!

— Morgan, St. Louis

Heather is positive, non-judgmental, and talented in her vision to see a room and what needs to be to organize it. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to organize their home or business. We worked on several areas in my home and I feel more confident in my ability to stay organized and help my kids to become more organized.

I don’t even know where to begin to describe the depth of my appreciation for how Heather has helped my home. Basically, my home got so out of control with clutter to the point where everything was a huge mess. I didn’t have a place for anything and it was too overwhelming for me to do alone. I needed someone with great ideas and a positive attitude to help me tackle the organization process, and that’s exactly what I found with Heather.

— Cindy - St. Louis

You don’t have to organize alone.

With a fresh perspective, ideas, strategies and many years of practical experience managing my own home of 14, we can implement and maintain the organized home you have always wanted.

Heather brings a rare combination of unbelievable organizational skills, artistic vision, and impeccable cleaning skills to her work. She is willing to work with you and your desires for your home and also has the confidence to offer suggestions. She is willing to be patient but is able to accomplish tasks at super-human speed getting work done in a fraction of the time it would have taken me to do it. She is worth every penny you spend on her services!

— Lisa, Maplewood

Heather came at 9:00 and spend ALL day with me!! She never slowed down and didn’t seem daunted by something that had been overwhelming me for months. She helped me go through every single box and then she HAULED it away!!! It was incredible!! Her energy was contagious and she was so thoughtful and kind and offered advice when I needed it. I cannot recommend highly enough!!!

— Heather, Ballwin

Getting Started

Getting Started

Are you feeling overwhelmed and not sure where to start? That’s ok because organizing does not come easily to everyone.

Our process is simple and straightforward beginning with an In-Home Consultation.

After we have met and designed a plan, we move to Hands-On Organizing. In this phase we work side by side constantly evaluating and strategizing to accomplish your goals in an effective and efficient manner.

In a word, Heather is awesome. We are delighted with the quality of her work, and we most definitely will use her services again. We also enthusiastically recommend her to other people to use for projects big or small. For example, our studio space, which is a 420 square foot room above our garage, was unusable before Heather tackled organizing it; before she began, it had a small path through all the stuff we had stacked everywhere. In about four hours, Heather organized the room and made it useable again. In short, Heather is an efficient and effective organizer and cleaner who we give our highest recommendation.

— James - Webster Groves

Heather did an excellent job of helping us go through things and then we decided what we just had to keep. She guided us but we were responsible for making the decisions. She was very professional at all times. We could not have done it without her. Heather comes totally prepared for whatever work you have for that day.

— Patricia - U. City

Heather came to my home and spent 1.5 hours going through every single room in my entire house assessing what needed to be done. She gave me “homework” for when she returned to actually organize and we came up with a plan for “organizing day”... She takes a whole house, whole life, whole family approach. I love Heather!!

In Home Consultation

Step One

In Home Consultation

Step One

We will schedule a time that is convenient for me to come to your home. It takes about an hour to go through your home and design a custom action plan. We will focus on the spaces that are a priority to you. This is the time for you to cast the vision of what you want your spaces to look and feel like.

At the end of our time you may need to purchase some organizational items like tubs and bins before our Hands On Organizing day. My goal will be to utilize everything you already have to keep costs down.

Heather did an initial consultation, offering an evaluation and immediate solutions and a starting point for simplifying and organizing every space in my house. I was then able to purchase needed containers and get started to make our time together more efficient when the big day arrived.

— Jessica, St. Louis

Heather was just extremely efficient overall. We talked about what to have in advance so she could maximize her time. She adjusted rooms and spaces for maximum value.

— Scott, Chesterfield

Hands on Organizing

This is when we roll up our sleeves and get to work. Our day together should be free of interruptions and free of kids, if possible, so that we can really stay on task. We will move from space to space organizing, repurposing, refreshing and eliminating. As we work through each area, I will teach you how to make decisions, stay focused on your goal and create new systems of organization that will help to keep your home organized long term.

Heather has a true gift for organizing and I feel so fortunate to be the beneficiary of her genius! She works at warp speed and left me exhausted, but ecstatic! It’s actually so much fun to work with her; the time flew by!

— Susan

Heather helped me think about my space in a new and creative way. I felt stuck in my clutter and Heather supported me in working through this process in a positive, energizing manner.

I felt supported in going through my items and helping to re-imagine my space and the items in my space. I also loved Heather’s positive energy!

— Aimee

This was such an incredible “weight loss”. experience. I feel as though the stress of my clutter and disorganization has been lifted by Heather’s expert organization skills. She left no drawer, corner, or box untouched. In a house of small kids we were drowning in our clutter and disorganization. Heather did not just put a bandaid on our problems; she healed our problems. I now walk into rooms in our house feeling ready to spend time engaging with my children instead of telling them to clean up! Plus clean up is a breeze, bc everything has a place. Hire her today. Put a stop to the stress that your stuff is causing you. Lighten your load!

— Amanda - Perry

It was such an enjoyable experience. Heather did such a wonderful job of putting things into perspective for me. It helped me let go of “things” I had been holding onto for far too long. She’s incredibly efficient, kind, and just an all around wonderful person. I found it helpful that Heather gave me a place to start. I think that was the hardest part for me. She gave me her suggestion list and it made it so much easier for me to focus in on one thing at a time and get it all done
